Coast and Wine Country 4-5 days - Anniversary

My wife and I are looking to celebrate our anniversary and we%26#39;re taking 5 days to explore the Oregon Wine Country and coast. We%26#39;re looking for recommendations for a couple spots on the coast that have some local activities and are scenic/romantic. Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Which area of the coast are you interested in? Budget?

Coast and Wine Country 4-5 days - Anniversary

When you mention anniversary and romantic, the first places that came to mind were Stephanie Inn in Cannon Beach, and Whale Cove Inn, just south of Depoe Bay: http://www.stephanie-inn.com/ http://www.whalecoveinn.net/ . I%26#39;ve stayed in the Stephanie Inn and loved it, but having only been in the lobby of Whale Cove Inn, I think it might be the nicer of the two.

In addition to half-Brit%26#39;s question, are you thinking about staying in/near wine country? The heart of it is within an hour of Portland, but two + from the coast.

%26#39;Nother question - do you prefer having a beach to stroll on or is a rocky cliff okay?

Rocky cliff is fine, no need for a strollin beach.

And we are thinking about wine country, probably looking at staying in McMinnville or Dundee area.

These would be my top picks in wine country: http://www.blackwalnut-inn.com/ and http://www.youngberghill.com/ .

Since you don%26#39;t need the beach, add Overleaf Lodge as another place to consider on the coast: http://www.overleaflodge.com/ . It%26#39;s not in the same league as Stephanie Inn or Whale Cove Inn, but has a better setting than either of them, in my opinion.

Whale Cove Inn is brand-spanking new, and is no doubt very nice, but I agree the Overleaf has a superior setting. Whale Cove is right on busy Hwy 101; Overleaf is set back. Yachats is a tiny town of about 600 people.

Cannon Beach is sooo busy in the summer. There are a couple of places you might like in Arch Cape:

When are you planning on visiting?

We%26#39;ll be visiting the second week in June. THanks for those recommendations, I checked them out online and they look awesome!

I have never stayed at the Black Walnut Inn, nor Youngbird Hill, but I have been to Youngbird many times. I can tell you that the place is really nice and the view is fantastic. I am sure that the Black Walnut Inn is as well....many people here, and on other forums recommend it.

The area is scenic and quiet. The perfect place to relax and enjoy.
